Hi Solnic,
Yes, using after :create makes more sense.
I still have the problem that although the url property is then
successfully created, it is not persisted itself.
Should I save again? That seems wasteful to have 2 saves for every
page created.
class Page
include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial
property :url
after :create do
self.url ='/mysite/' << self.id.to_s
self.save
end
end
cheers,
DAZ
